LAWRENCE J. O'NEILL, District Judge.
Plaintiff United States of America, by and through its counsel of record, and defendants, by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows:
1. By previous order, this matter was set for a status conference on Monday, November 30, 2015, at 10:00 a.m.
2. By this stipulation, the parties move to continue the hearing date until December 7, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. and to exclude time between November 30, 2015, and December 7, 2015.
3. The parties agree and stipulate, and request that the Court find the following:
a. The government has sent a plea offer to the defendant, which he needs to review with his attorney.
b. The attorney for the defendant is unavailable at 10 a.m. on November 30, 2015, due to a matter set then in state court.
c. The parties believe that failure to grant the above-requested continuance would deny the defendant the reasonable time necessary for effective resolution and/or case preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence, and would deny continuity of counsel for the government.
d. Based on the above-stated findings, the ends of justice served by continuing the case as requested outweigh the interest of the public and the defendant in a trial within the original date prescribed by the Speedy Trial Act.
e. For the purpose of computing time under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq., within which trial must commence, the time period of November 30, 2015, to December 7, 2015, inclusive, is deemed excludable pursuant to 18 U.S.C.§ 3161(h)(7)(A), B(iv) because it results from a continuance granted by the Court at the defendant's and government's request on the basis of the Court's finding that the ends of justice served by taking such action outweigh the best interest of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial.
4. Nothing in this stipulation and order shall preclude a finding that other provisions of the Speedy Trial Act dictate that additional time periods are excludable from the period within which a trial must commence.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
The above stipulation is adopted.
